Ryan Murphy, the writer and director known for his hit shows like; “American Horror Story”, “GLEE”, “Scream Queens” etc. has started something revolutionary that will change the game forever;

“Half, a foundation within his 20th Century Fox TV-based production company, aims to have 50 percent of all director slots on his shows filled by women, people of color and members of the LGBT community and will begin outreach efforts at colleges to align candidates with mentors: “I personally can do better,” he tells THR.”

What made me smile about this idea is that I’ve been saying it for years. Why don’t major production companies go out and find talent at the colleges and universities and even high schools? Well, Ryan and his team plans on doing just that, visiting colleges to look for talent, and to provide internships at a working level.

Let’s hope others will follow suit…
